Lion House Banana Bread Muffins with Almond Glaze Recipe

If you live in Utah, you have probably heard of the Lion House Restaurant . . . they seriously have some of the best homemade dishes I have ever tried!

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law’s friend and it’s pretty dang close to the Lion House’s banana bread recipe, but I love to make muffins with it too. I know that there are a lot of banana bread recipes out there, but this one is my favorite because they always turn out perfectly moist!

Sometimes I top it off with a simple almond-flavored glaze- with or without it, it’s still yummy.

So, if you have over-ripe bananas, this is a perfect way to use them up!

Bake in greased muffin tins (or use baking cups) at 350 degrees for about 20-22 minutes. (I can’t remember exactly how many these made last time I made them! I am thinking that it made 12-15 . . . but don’t hold me to that number!)

Glaze with mixture of milk and powdered sugar (I don’t ever measure it, I just keep adding one ingredient or the other until I get the consistency I want) and 1/2 tsp almond flavoring. Glaze muffins/bread while still hot.

These are wonderful. I have made them several times since discovering the recipe. I add a small amount of chopped walnuts and sprinkle some finer chopped walnut in the top before baking. Once done, i let cool completely before glazing - they look beautiful and taste amazing. The cooking time of 22 mins works perfectly for me. My husband loves these! If you haven't tred - these are a must!

We are a senior couple serving in Finland. We are assigned to a small town in the Lapland area for 18 months. We are near the Arctic Circle where we have only 4 hrs of light during most of the winter months. Long nights have encouraged me to try new recipes to share with friends & strangers. This recipe has been a real hit with the Finns. We can't thank you enough for sharing this recipe as it has helped us "find" new people. No one turns down a plate of warm banana muffins with an almond glaze! Yum, yum!
